I'm seeing how wide spread this problem is. So here the problem the game pauses every ten or so seconds for a second or two before it continues to play. I have already got a replacement disc from Gamestop I also deleted the install and game save a couple of times to make sure. At this point I don't know what going on I don't know if it's the game or my PS3, as a side note I have Dead Space and it works perfectly.
uh-oh.. thats not good news.. haven't seen any other reports of it on the forums... It sounds like the problem might be with your PS3 i'm sad to say :(
NOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great that not the news I wanted to hear. I have only heard of a few isolated problems like this so far though, so it's not very wide spread. If it is my ps3 I'll wait since it's the only game thats givng me grief.
Hey...I too am getting a similar lag...I have a relatively new 80gb ps3...I don't think it's a blu ray drive problem (but I'm not sure) because the HD light is what is blinking when my game goes into a lag.
is everyone else out there playing smooth as butter?

I have a 60gb so maybe it is the game I hope so. When you play the game is it like someone's pausing it every 10m or so seconds?
I get it, but not every 10 seconds. More like once or twice per hour. It's usually like a 1-2 second pause and then back to normal. I have a 60gb.
Other than that, this game runs suprisingly smooth. I haven't noticed any slowdown whatsoever. There is some screen tearing though, v-sync is cleary turned off. It's not that bad at all though, about on par with Uncharted.
I'm playing on a PS3 that was a 60 gig and is now a 250 gig and I haven't had any frame rate issues or any other issues yet.
The only bug - and i'm not sure if it is - I've encountered is finding my buddy dying after I saved a game @ a safe house. Not having any styrettes remaining, I reloaded my saved game and headed in a different direction to avoid the encounter. Doing this prevented my buddy from being killed off.
I believe you just described the age old trick commonly known as "loading from the last checkpoint", "reloading", or "resetting". Tends to erase everything that happened after.

Brilliant.
Far cry 2's been running fine for me so far, no massive slow downs or buzz killing visual glitches. Always sceptical about the consoles running the open world games. Oblivion was pretty shocking on ps3 for me..slow downs killed me especially in big fight scenes. Will also be interested to see how fallout 3 goes
well the character having malaria does ot help makes me feel like throwing up because the screen changes when running. Who ever thought of that is a retard because that wat causes disorders is people staring at a screen thats messing with peoples eyes yea dats all we need.

I don't think it's your ps3 -- I got Far cry 2 last night and had the same problem -- freezing during the clips and in gameplay. I went back to gamestop and the guy there said one of his friends had the same problem but he didn't have anymore copies of the game so what I did was unistall and delete everything having to do with the game and then reinstalled it and now its playing fine. Apparently (he thinks) it has something to do with the 2.50 update.
I played for like 4 hours last night with no major problems except for the occassional screen tearing. This only happens when I turn directions really fast though. They should have used a blurring effect so it wouldn't be so noticable. I have a launch date 60GB, and it's working perfect.
It's a problem affecting the pre-order editions of FC2. The only known fix is to disconnect your ethernet cable, or disable your PS3's LAN. Anything to stop it trying to connect to the internet.

Are we sure it is the pre-order versions? Do we have a source for that?

Are you in the USA or Europe?
Edit- I've checked on Google and apparently signing out of PSN fixes the problem.
from glancing at the ubisoft forums, it seems that many PC owners are experiencing exactly the same problem. 99% of cases seem to be solved by disconnecting from the internet.

No source, everything I stated is just from what I have heard from other people. Probably should of mentioned that earilier...
could it be a region specific problem? i remember it happening with assasins creed for me...i got region 2...i've experienced this stuff with ubisoft games only...kinda wierd...well i got 2 ps3's in case this problems occurs to me so i'll be fine.
yea im haveing this problem as well. every 17 secounds like clock work it freezes for a secound or two. i think its some kind of bug reading the HDD. because its not random or dependent on how much stuff is going on on screen like if it were Frame rate issues. if there is not a sulotion soon im tradeing it in for deadspace

Update: what you described does correct the problem. As soon as I disconnected my PS3 so it could go on line the freezing stopped, so thank you for the heads up as well as everyone else in this thread. I hope UBI gets to work fixing this I dont want to see another Vega incident.
has anyone had problems intaling this game. i put the disk in and nothing happens. all my other games work fine, this is the first time this sort of thing has happend. any one have any ideas?
